"This……"
"Let's take a step back and say, even if your mother treats her well, have you ever seen a stepmother get close to her stepdaughter?"
Countless images flashed through Ye Xiaoqiang's mind, and he felt that this statement made sense.
"What exactly does Dad plan to do?"
"Your eldest sister is pregnant now. She is expecting three babies. This is something that even the Bodhisattva cannot achieve."
"Ah? Really?"
"Isn't that right? She is a blessing, a great blessing. We should be nicer to her in the future. When she quarrels with your mother, we should help her. She blames me for watching your mother bully her all these years without helping. We should change in the future and let her slowly accept us."
Ye Guo patted Ye Xiaoqiang on the shoulder and said, "Brothers from your natal family are the basis for a woman to have confidence in her husband's family. Son, you have to be a good supporter."
Ye Guoguo and Ye Xiaoqiang talked a lot, and finally they reached an agreement and decided to use Sun Qing as a puppet to improve Ye Xiaozhen's favorability.
Sun Qing had no idea that he had been abandoned by his father and his son.
She had been busy for them for half her life, but in the end they were assessing the situation and planning how to use her as a puppet.
When Ye Xiaoqiang came back, she complained to him and said a lot of bad things about Ye Guo.
"Don't go around staring at your dad for no reason. This old guy is not right."
Ye Xiaoqiang looked at her with disdain and didn't take her words seriously.
"You're always staring at this or that. You stared at my dad chatting with the young wife in the village, but why did you stare at me when I said a few words for Ye Xiaozhen? She's my dear daughter, what else can you do to her?"
"Why not? I felt your father was going to rebel, but he actually spoke up for Ye Xiaozhen and told me to stop calling her a little bastard. Listen to your mother and keep an eye on your father."
Ye Xiaoqiang thought she was being long-winded and said angrily, "Go away, just stop it. This is all your fault. If you hadn't abused them since they were young, would they have recognized us?"
"You...what are you talking about?"
"Isn't it? Humph, if you hadn't bullied her, I would have ridden a motorcycle long ago, and I would have had another sister who could make money."
"Are you blaming me?" Sun Qing's eyes widened in anger.
Ye Xiaoqiang didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly blamed her.
Sun Qing was so angry that he cried, "It's terrible. An old man and a little girl blame me. How have I been so unfair to her? She is an ex-wife who is left behind and becomes stupid. I have been fair to her by not drowning her."
"She's not my biological daughter, why should I be nice to her?"
"I don't owe her anything. If I treat her well, can she treat me like her own mother?"
"Even my own biological children may not be reliable, how can I count on my adopted daughter? Pah."
"Ye Xiaoqiang, do you think that if you and your father curry favor with others, they will give you any advantage? You are dreaming."
Ye Xiaoqiang looked at her crying and venting indifferently, and said lightly: "Ye Xiaozhen is not your daughter, so of course she won't be nice to you. But she is my sister, my biological sister, and my father is her biological father. We are different from you."
Sun Qing: “…”
Her face turned pale, and she stared at Ye Xiaoqiang and cursed, "You ungrateful wolf, you ungrateful wolf..."
No matter how she scolded him, Ye Xiaoqiang remained indifferent.
…
Xie Li said that the persimmons and dates in her mountain were ripe, and she discussed with everyone that she wanted to go back to pick them.
"Since Xiaozhen is pregnant, it's not a good idea for me to go back now. But I really love that thing, and I will throw it away if I don't go back."
Lin Xinghua agreed, saying that he hated to see food wasted, especially dates and persimmons, which were more expensive than food.
"I'll talk to the old lady next door, Liu, and ask her to help with these few days."
Xie Li said: "I have already told Grandma Liu to come over and talk to Xiaozhen when she is free, and Grandma Liu has agreed."
Ye Xiaozhen didn't know that they had done so much behind her back.
She said, "Sister, you can just put it back and pick it. I'm an adult now, it's okay. I can take care of myself, so there's no need to bother Grandma Liu."
"How can you do this? I don't know when your illness will come back. You can't live without someone around you."
It turned out that she was worried about being ill.
She couldn't tell them that she was actually healthy.
Lin Xinghua said: "Yes, it's still your father's place, he is not careful. If he knew that no one was home, he would probably come to make trouble. It would have been fine before, but now you have four lives on your shoulders, you can't waste them."
Xie Linan knew that Xiaozhen was not sick, so he asked Xie Li, "How long will it take?"
Xie Li said: "It will probably take at least a week."
"Then you can leave two days later. It will be Friday next week, and the second and third children will be back. Let them go back with you to collect the things."
"This... we need to do homework."
"It's okay. I'll tell them tomorrow and ask them to finish their homework after class. I'll go back to the mountains with you to pick persimmons and dates on the weekend. Forget it. They may not be willing to harvest rice, but if you ask them to harvest persimmons and dates, they will definitely run faster than anyone else."
This way, we can finish the harvest earlier.
Xie Li said, "Well, let's arrange it this way."
The next day, Xie Linan went to school to find Xie Linli and Xie Linqi. After telling them, the two were really as happy as Xie Linan had guessed. They were very excited and kept imagining sitting on the tree and picking dates and persimmons to eat.
The two of them told their classmates that they were going to pick persimmons and dates on the weekend.
As a result, everyone was more excited than the other, clamoring to go with us and pick the fruits for free, as long as they had enough to eat.
The two agreed and said they would discuss it with their sister.
The two talked about this when they came back on Friday.
"Sister, my classmate said he would come, as long as we can eat enough."
"Ah? How many classmates do you have?"
"There will be many more coming." Xie Linli said with a chuckle, "But not everyone can do this job. I picked a few people who can climb trees and have great strength."
Xie Li said: "The key is whether the family members agree or not?"
"Put this aside. Otherwise, they can't come if you don't agree."
That's true.
We went into the mountains before dawn the next day. Not long after, Grandma Liu came back with a basket containing needles and thread and a half-sewn shoe sole.
"Xiaozhen, I am sorry to bother you today. I am embroidering insoles at your house."
Ye Xiaozhen knew that she was entrusted to look after her, and they were afraid that she would go crazy again without anyone around.
"Grandma Liu, your insoles are pretty nice. Who did you embroider them for?"
"It's getting cold, so I plan to sew a pair for each family member."
"Well, that's fine. You have a big family."
"Yeah, I'm free anyway, so I'll just do some of these easy jobs if I can."
She looked at Ye Xiaozhen with a smile and said, "You have gained weight recently. The eggs the old hen ate were not in vain."
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
"Your face has become much whiter. I heard that your Lin An bought you some vanishing cream. Is that right?"
